WINGS provides crisis care, food, clothing and shelter and connects clients with counseling, legal assistance, mentoring, career services and more.
“It was a fun project, and we liked being able to help families who are dealing with these issues,” -Nancy Reese, BY Chicago North Suburban alumnae attended an open house hosted by WINGS where they learned more about the mission of the organization.

EPSILON KAPPA, MILLERSVILLE UNIVERSITY, PA In 1990, the Epsilon Kappa Chapter at Millersville University adopted a section of road in their local community. For 33 years, chapter members have been visiting their section of the road, collecting easily disposable items and litter that have been left behind. “We all care about the environment and there is a feeling of satisfaction among all of us when we get to look back on how clean the area looks after we finish,” said Shaziya Roberts, Epsilon Kappa Chapter president. “This is something that is very important to us because it is an act of service that truly benefits the community. Being able to put our time into making the world a cleaner place is so rewarding.” The chapter visits the site four times a year to help reduce the amount of waste, plastic and litter to help keep their local community clean. This service opportunity also keeps the area clean and safe for wildlife by preventing them from ingesting hazardous materials.
